Timex Brand
The Timex Watch Company
Timex Group B.V. is one of the best-known American watch companies. Timex's U.S. headquarters are located in Middlebury Connecticut and it has substantial operations in China, the Philippines and India and full scale sales companies in Canada, the UK, France and Mexico.
The company began in 1854 as Waterbury Clock in Connecticut's Naugatuck Valley, known during the nineteenth century as the "Switzerland of America." Sister company Waterbury Watch manufactured the first inexpensive mechanical pocket watch in 1880. During World War I, Waterbury began making wristwatches, which had only just become popular, and in 1933 it made history by creating the first Mickey Mouse clock under license from Walt Disney, with Mickey's hands pointing the time.
During World War II, Waterbury renamed itself U.S. Time Company. In 1950 the company introduced a wristwatch called the Timex. Over the next three decades, Timex was sold through a series of advertisements which emphasized its durability by putting the watch through "torture tests," such as falling over the Grand Coulee Dam or being strapped to the propeller of an outboard motor, with the slogan "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking." With the help of former Olympic broadcaster, spokesman John Cameron Swayze, sales took off. The company later became Timex Corporation, then Timex Group and, to date, has sold over one billion watches.
The company has remained very competitive and the Timex brand continues its dominance through present day. Its primary market remains the United States and Canada, although the Timex brand is sold worldwide due to its ability to capitalize on its strong brand image and reputation for quality.
One of the most successful and important features available on many Timex watches is the Indiglo backlight system. Indiglo is a brand name of Indiglo Corporation, solely owned by Timex for licensing purposes. Timex electroluminescent lamps, branded Indiglo, were introduced in 1992 in the Ironman watch line. They were an immediate success. The Indiglo® lamp uniformly lights the surface of the Timex’s watch dials in a manner that makes the dial read very easily in many different light settings. In some newer watches the Indiglo backlight only lights up the numbers, rather than the entire LCD display, which is achieved by means of a specialized film that inverts the LCD transmissivity.
Today, Timex Group products are manufactured in the Far East and in Switzerland often based on technology that continues to be developed in the United States and in Germany. With a large and varied line of watches, Timex has the style for everyone. From the locker room to the board room, there is a great Timex style time-piece for you.

Good value
Seems to be a lot of watch for a little money, but I don't think I'd have bought it if I'd seen it first. It's a lot bigger/bulkier than I had hoped from reading the description. I've been wearing it for a couple of days; maybe I'll get used to it. It's not 8 millimeters thick; it's 12.4 mm. It's not 35 millimeters in diameter; it's 42 mm.
There is no subdials for "hours." At six o'clock is a subdial for seconds that runs all the time. The big white "second" hand sits at twelve all the time except when operating as a stop watch. There is a subdial for 1/20th seconds, and a subdial that counts minutes up to 30.
The leather band is good. It seems to work perfectly and silently as a watch/chronograph. You can change the hour hand without moving the minute hand; great for time zone changes, but you've got to swing through 24 hours to reset the date.
The Picture Looked Nice -- Poor Design
Unfortunately I threw away the packing material for this watch, or I'd return it.
It looks great in the picture and pretty good on my wrist. But it's design is not at all refined. Lots of important-looking dials that are hard to read, hidden behind other hands, or don't line up accurately with the markings.
The manual that comes with the watch is one manual for many watches, which makes things quite confusing until you realize that you have to find your particular watch within the thin manual. Some "oh I didn't know it would do that" features did not apply.
I wanted a chronograph to do timing but it is quite difficult to read the minutes dial. Especially because the indicator hand does not line up with the markings accurately. Guessing whether it's 7 or 8 minutes makes the 1/20th second dial seem ridiculous.
On my wrist, the watch feels heavy and tugs at the strap from time to time. I've had to adjust the strap several times and am not happy yet.
Possibly the best use is to remind me to save receipts and packing material until I'm sure I am satisfied.
Sigh.
Can't distinguish from IWC, Omega, TAG without reading glassed
I got this watch to wear in casually. I have a Breitling Chronomat for 15 year and was craving a black faced simple chrono watch. After shopping TAG, Omega, IWC...I fell upon THIS. This watch is exactly, EXACTLY what I was looking for and unlike my mechanical watches, it was correct after sitting for a couple days. Interesting concept for a mechanical watch guy...a watch that keeps, time...I think this could catch on...anyway, the watch is simple, handsome and accurate. The only thing that could put a damper on it is that it says TIMEX on the face. I'll wear it proudly.
